  1. This kills me because I’m pretty sure the going to sit and getting back up was just so that he made sure not to prematurely sit down before the speaker was down announcing.

  2. Yeah, MAGAs are trying to push this to make Biden look as addled as the the Melon Felon!

  3. I’ve read accusations that Biden actually had an “accident”. MAGA is full of immoral liars.

  4. Please vote in November, we cannot let a foaming fascist regain control of the White House. Republicans only have misinformation left at this point, don’t let them win.

  5. Well, from the fact that he didn’t fall, that kind of show he has been practicing kung fu. /s

  6. Elon Musk is an anti-Democrat and runs this social website with no ethical or moral standards. X is merely an online, RW, discreditable source, and I’m glad I’ve never joined it.

  7. LOL… this tactic again?

    Member when they doctored footage of Jim Acosta when he tried to finish asking his question while an intern tried to forcefully take the microphone away?

  8. Who originally posted the altered video? Which organizations disseminated it and represented it as authentic? Come on, AP, if you’re going to fact check then tell us who’s responsible for this disinformation.

    Edit: I’m pretty sure it was RNC Research, who posted this video along with several others from the same event. There’s another with Biden freezing mid-step after exiting the presidential vehicle, which appears to be slowed/altered as well.

  9. With AI around, expect to see many edited or made-up videos to spread misinformation.

  10. I think this AP article clearly failed to identify X in the headline as being complicit in promoting this lie.

  12. Never seen a group of people who are so convinced someone is senile try so hard to make someone look senile.

  13. Watching the (unaltered) clip, it’s very clear to me that the reason he is hovering is he is waiting for his wife to sit down first.

    This is a very old school courtesy, that men should not sit until women are seated – similar to that men should open doors for women and let them walk through first. Biden is the right age for that to have been a part of his upbringing. Indeed, I’m a generation younger than him and I am aware of it.

  14. Not to worry. once the mistake is explained to trump supporters they will understand 🙂

  17. Hasnt Mitch McConnel straight up seize/ freeze at press conferences on multiple occasions?

  19. Yeah I saw this on TikTok earlier today. The chair was actually still visible in that video, making it particularly stupid. The comments were what you’d expect on a MAGA vid

  20. Think about this for a minute. Imagine if you were an 81 year old and the only way the media could dunk on you, even at this age, is by literally making shit up and fabricating stories. Fuck all of you. Downvote me all you want. I think Biden is god damn amazing. I think he is the best president I have had in my lifetime. I think history will bring to light greater context as to the importance and value of his legacy and impact on this country. I’m not just voting for Biden, but I’m fucking pumped to vote for him again. This old fucking geaser is a living legend!

  21. The assertion by MAGA Twitter all day has been that Biden pooped in his pants, and that Jill Biden and Macron’s wife had their hands over their noses because of it, and Biden left early, guided off the stage by Jill shortly after.

    Except…

    Wait for it…

    That never happened. And Biden was there for over 40 minutes.

  23. Hey, at least he showed up. Can’t say that for the other guy. Just to be clear, I am not talking about this year but when he was president.

  24. I’ve been asking Republicans for months to share those obvious clips of Biden’s dementia. Still waiting.

  26. This is how desperate the republicans are to try and make Biden look bad.

  27. Should stick to fan fic drawings of Trumps fat ass with muscles.
